The duckbill has to be one of the worst designs ever, but it was fun to shoot. You just have to triple-check the firing line before shooting, because it's almost as dangerous as being at an Air Force range (I say that as retired USAF). It was always a good conversation starter.

The New Orlean's Ace and the derringer were more accurate:

The pepper box and twister were a lot of fun:

The Possible Shop has a page displaying many completed kits. Wish they were still regularly available. The new rifle kits are as expensive, or more expensive, than finished rifles.

We weren't interested in heirlooms and I'm not paying that kind of cash. My dad always said, "Guns are meant to be used, and I'll be damned if I get one that I can't shoot.'

looks like Dixie Gun Works carries new kits. They are still inexpensive, though they all seem to have composite stocks. I would carve wooden ones myself.

I'll add them all to my Christmas list!
